Principles of BiochemistryFor one-semester or two-semester introductory courses in Biochemistry. May be taught out of departments of chemistry, biology, or biochemistry. Biochemistry departments may be in faculties of science or in medicine. This concise, introductory text focuses on the basic principles of biochemistry, filling the gap between the encyclopedic volumes and the cursory overview texts. The book has a well-deserved reputation for being the most accurate biochemistry textbook in the market. Widely praised in its previous edition for currency, and clarity of exposition, the new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect recent changes in this dynamic discipline. |
